Hi! I have a notification on my car whenever I try to drive it and it says transmission fail safe and puts my car in neutral Mechanic's Assistant: When was your transmission fluid last checked? About a month ago. It’s all good Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your transmissions? 2018 Ford fusion se hybrid with a cbt Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Fusion yourself? What have you tried so far? Cvt\* Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? I am, I so far have looked everything over and it all seems normal except feeling and hearing a click when I did try to shift into drive and drive it

Howdy from Tennessee, I'm Chris aka Moose. Who am I helping today? I'm glad you've come here to get help. I will do my best to get the answer you are looking for. I help many customers, so sometimes my replies are delayed, I will respond once available. I try to be online at 1-5 pm and 10 pm-5 am every day. - I assume the vehicle is still under warranty? - Any fluids leaking onto the ground under the transaxle? - Do you have a scan tool to see what codes are stored?

Since you were not able to reply to the info request I sent. I cannot be as accurate and thorough as I would like in my answer. I hope what I can provide does help. It would be best to utilize the warranty. If you attempt to repair and cause damage, this can void the complete vehicle warranty and Hybrid repairs are not cheap as is. You do not want to have that on your own cash. Thank you for seeking us for help, I hope I provided what was needed. Press reply if you need to follow up. If you liked my answer please let me know so I can mark your question complete. Moose

Thank you. It was a blown fuse. All good!
